Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 information for this course. First Year A year of study consists of 120 "credit points" of teaching. All courses in physics are "modular" and most are worth 10 credits each. Thus a student will normally take 12 courses in a year, six per semester. 90 credits are taken within the Physics Department, together with 30 credits of mathematics.

Satisfactory performance in both sets of examinations is required. The examinations at the end of each teaching block will cover the material taught in that teaching block alone. (Specifically the June examinations will not examine course work from the first teaching block.). Based upon satisfactory performance in the examinations students proceed to Level 2. Second Year Again the academic year requires 120 credits - 60 credits in the first teaching block and 60 in the second. 120 credits are compulsory consisting of 10 lecture modules each of 10 credits and 20 credits of Laboratory Physics and group project: PH-203 Statistical Physics https://intranet.swan.ac.uk/catalogue/default.asp?type=moddetail&dept=PHYS&mod=PH-203&ayr=thisYear&psl=TB1&detailOnly= PH-204 Introduction to Physics Simulation https://intranet.swan.ac.uk/catalogue/default.asp?type=moddetail&dept=PHYS&mod=PH-204&ayr=thisYear&psl=TB1&detailOnly= PH-205 Quantum Mechanics I https://intranet.swan.ac.uk/catalogue/default.asp?type=moddetail&dept=PHYS&mod=PH-205&ayr=thisYear&psl=TB1&detailOnly= PH-206 Mathematical Methods in Physics I https://intranet.swan.ac.uk/catalogue/default.asp?type=moddetail&dept=PHYS&mod=PH-206&ayr=thisYear&psl=TB1&detailOnly= PH-207 Condensed Matter Physics I https://intranet.swan.ac.uk/catalogue/default.asp?type=moddetail&dept=PHYS&mod=PH-207&ayr=thisYear&psl=TB2&detailOnly= PH-209 Laboratory Physics and Group Projects A (20 credit points) https://intranet.swan.ac.uk/catalogue/default.asp?type=moddetail&dept=PHYS&mod=PH-209&ayr=thisYear&psl=TB1%2B2&detailOnly= PH-221 Electromagnetism and Special Relativity I https://intranet.swan.ac.uk/catalogue/default.asp?type=moddetail&dept=PHYS&mod=PH-221&ayr=thisYear&psl=TB1&detailOnly= PH-222 Electromagnetism II https://intranet.swan.ac.uk/catalogue/default.asp?type=moddetail&dept=PHYS&mod=PH-222&ayr=thisYear&psl=TB2&detailOnly= PH-227 Mathematical Methods in Physics II https://intranet.swan.ac.uk/catalogue/default.asp?type=moddetail&dept=PHYS&mod=PH-227&ayr=thisYear&psl=TB2&detailOnly= PH-229 Particle Physics I https://intranet.swan.ac.uk/catalogue/default.asp?type=moddetail&dept=PHYS&mod=PH-229&ayr=thisYear&psl=TB2&detailOnly= PH-360 Nanotechnology https://intranet.swan.ac.uk/catalogue/default.asp?type=moddetail&dept=PHYS&mod=PH-360&ayr=thisYear&psl=TB2&detailOnly= Examinations take place at the end of the first teaching block in early January and at the end of the second teaching block in June.

Physics with Nanotechnology degree. There are 9 lecture modules and 30 credits of project/laboratory work.

After the June examinations, the students' final mark will be determined using a banded average of the module marks obtained during Level 2 and Level 3. After graduating the world is their oyster!
